Similar warnings have been issued (August 10th 2016) for certain lots of test strips for TRUEresult, TRUEresult twist, and TRUEtrack blood glucose meters.

The manufacturer, Nipro Diagnostics, found an issue with the packaging meaning that test strips in specific lots are not sealed properly. This can affect how the strips measure blood glucose levels and could lead to undetected high blood glucose (hyperglycaemia) which can have serious health implications.

If people are concerned about their blood glucose readings when using this meter, they are advised to contact their healthcare professional.

Warning over small number of TRUEyou home blood glucose test strips

Certain lots of TRUEyou blood glucose test strips may give incorrect low blood glucose results that could lead to undetected hyperglycaemia. This is due to an issue with the packaging process.

The number of affected products is thought to be low, however, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is asking people currently using affected batches of TRUEyou blood glucose test strips to stop using them and return them to the manufacturers.
